Donald Trump Boasts That Tom Brady, Bill Belichick Have Voted for Him

Donald Trump claims that he’s got a solid support in the New England Patriots locker room, saying that quarterback Tom Brady and Bill Belchick are voting for him.

“Donald, I support you, you’re my friend and I voted for you,” Trump told a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, that Brady told him over the phone on Monday, CNN reported.

“This guy is a champ and a winner and he is a great person,” Trump continued. “So I said, Tom, you voted for me, you support me, am I allowed to say it tonight to this massive crowd in New Hampshire? He said, ‘If you want to say it, you can say it.’”

The announcement raised a cheer from the crowd full of Patriots fans, and doesn’t sync with what Brady and wife Gisele Bundchen are saying.

The four-time Super Bowl champion told “Kirk & Callahan Show” on WEEI Boston on Monday that he hadn’t voted yet. Early voting ended Friday in Massachusetts, CNN pointed out.

Meanwhile, when an Instagram follower asked his supermodel wife if her and Brady were backing Trump, she responded “NO!!!” (as captured below on Twitter).

Patriots beat reporter Ben Volin tweeted that spokesperson for the team said that Brady and Belichick didn’t respond to requests for comment about the veracity of Trump’s comments

Brady sparked rumors early on in the presidential race that he was backing Trump when a “Make America Great Again” cap was spotted in his locker.

“Now that he’s running for president he sent me a hat and he gave it to RKK [Patriots owner Robert Kraft] weeks ago,” Brady said in September 2015. “So it found its way to my locker.”
